One man was killed and another wounded in a shooting in Northeast Philadelphia’s Mayfair section Tuesday night.

Philadelphia police said a gunman opened fire on a vehicle just after 8:30 p.m. on Algard Street near Tyson Avenue. The homicide victim, identified Wednesday morning as neighborhood resident Alex Rodriquez, 23, was shot at least 10 times and died at Jefferson-Frankford Hospital.

The second victim, a 24-year-old man, suffered a gunshot wound to the back, police said, but is expected to survive. He was listed in stable condition Tuesday night at the hospital.

Both victims were sitting in a vehicle when the shooting took place. No arrests have been made and police did not recover weapons.

Police said they were looking for a man in hoodie who was last seen running on Walker Street.

Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
